Are you people high? "Statistically" doesn't mean "12 == 0". It means "Effectively zero"

I may be extremely dumb for learning math and statistics incorrectly, but as far as I know, 12 statistically is not 0.
When you're comparing it to 10,000 fundraises, it is..

24/10000 = 0.0024 -> two tenth's of 1%.... ie... statistically zero..

Depends upon sig figs and other statistical calculations. I was kinda expecting to see some statistics that showed that the 95% confidence interval had a minimum of 0 within it, which would have made far more sense to claim 'statistically 0 black women have received funding'.
